The following safety recalls were issued Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022 50SR and 70SR trailers. The coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle. Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 690 units are affected by the recall.
- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Western Star 47X, 2020-2023 Western Star 49X, and 2021-2022 Western Star 57X vehicles equipped with side air intakes on the hood. The stainless steel cover on the side air intake may loosen and detach from the vehicle. A detached side air intake cover may cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 2,294 units are affected by the recall.
- DTNA is recalling certain 2020-2022 Western Star 49X vehicles. The windshield wiper linkages may break, causing the windshield wipers to fail. Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA says potentially 520 units are affected by the recall.
- Prevost Car U.S. is recalling certain 2010-2023 H3-45, H3-45 VIP, X3-45, X3-45 Com, and X3-45 VIP vehicles. In the event of the alternator front bearing seizing, the alternator belt may continue to operate, causing the bearing to overheat. An overheated alternator bearing can increase the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 5,112 units are affected by the recall.
- Reading Truck Body is recalling certain 2019-2021 Master Mechanic Crane Body & Upfit vehicles. The Power Take Off (PTO) Timer Delay Relay module is mounted under the hood instead of in the vehicle cab, subjecting it to moisture which can lead to corrosion and cause the module to overheat. Overheating of the PTO Timer module increases the risk of a fire. NHTSA says potentially 187 units are affected by the recall.
- Volvo Bus Corporation is recalling certain 2020 Volvo 9700 DOT vehicles. In the event of the alternator front bearing seizing, the alternator belt may continue to operate, causing the bearing to overheat. An overheated alternator bearing can increase the risk of a fire.
